Here are my bold predictions for the Bears regular season finale against Detroit, with Chicago chasing its 12th win and a chance to lock up the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
Caleb Williams Hits 4,000 Passing Yards Early
This is the week it happens. Caleb Williams reaches the 4,000 yard mark, and I don’t think it even takes until the fourth quarter. The Bears come out aggressive, attacking the Lions through the air from the opening drive. With the offense in rhythm and protection holding up, Williams stacks chunk plays quickly. The stage is big, the moment is right, and the Bears lean fully into their franchise quarterback in the season finale.
Ben Johnson Runs It Up on Dan Campbell
If you’re looking for motivation, this one has it. Ben Johnson gives Dan Campbell a taste of his own medicine. Once the Bears get a lead, they don’t let up. No coasting. No conservative play-calling. Chicago keeps its foot on the gas, using tempo and creativity to stretch the score. This feels personal, and Johnson coaches like it.
Colston Loveland Comes Through on 4th Down (Again)
When the Bears need a play, they know exactly where to go. Colston Loveland has become the go to option on fourth down, and that trend continues Sunday. Whether it’s a short yardage situation or a critical drive extender, Loveland delivers another conversion.
Score Prediction
Bears 33, Lions 13
Chicago finishes the regular season with a win and sends a message to the NFC North.
